Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place quartered potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool completely.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard until smooth and emulsified.
  3. Step 3: Add cooled potatoes, celery, red onion, and dill to the bowl. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the potatoes (until the mixture holds together without crumbling).
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
